Once LightDM, LightDM Webkit Greeter, and Aether are installed you will need to set an avatar image for your users. Size is irrelevant, and avatars will be displayed as a 125x125 circle (Yes, square images too). Users that don't have an avatar set will default to the [astronaut](./src/img/default-user.png).

### **Using Your Own Wallpapers**

#### Method One:
Add and delete wallpapers within the `src/img/wallpapers/` directory as you see fit. By default, you will find this folder at the absolute path: `/usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/lightdm-webkit-theme-aether/src/img/wallpapers/`.

#### Method Two:
Edit the `background_images` value under `branding` within your lightdm-webkit config file located at `/etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf`.
Edit the `background_images_dir` value under `branding` within your web-greeter config file located at `/etc/lightdm/web-greeter.yml`.
*Note: This ignores the default value of /usr/share/backgrounds, as this is always set and would prevent the default wallpapers from working. To use wallpapers from within that directory, create a subdirectory at /usr/share/backgrounds/aether (or any other folder name) and change your config value accordingly.*
